Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd
Edit: special interest rant, it’s actually very interesting how they got these two to interact on screen because Rita is from the Japanese show (Super Sentai) and Zedd was an addition solely for the US version (they used a double for Rita while the voice actor continued to dub over her in post)
Don’t hate him, he’s one of my favorite authors. He was approached to finish WoT because he was a good fit. He is not a good fit for ASoIaF
Sanderson is a bad pick and has said himself that he can’t do grimdark. Just because he’s prolific doesn’t mean he should be the de facto pick to finish series.
I’ll take that bet. All of their expansions have been paid DLCs. Would be odd if the last one wasn’t.
Dyscalculia is the word you’re looking for
So many levels!
The levels:
All genders are accepted by the BSA nowadays. But yes
No, it’s a Dunkleosteus.
Coelacanth looks like this:
… dude, you’re a reptile. Salamanders are amphibians
It’s weird seeing his name written out. I still stumble with not calling him David Wong.
They’ve changed their name since. Now they’re the Chicago Cubs
Alright. Doesn’t change my main point. Which is the person’s name for the master branch is fucking weird.
Not gonna lie, the master branch thing has been perceived as problematic but I don’t typically see an issue with it. It’s similar to master bedroom or bath. Kind of fucked up name origin, but I don’t think anyone’s really making a fuss about it.
Whatever the fuck you’re doing though feels like some gross, racist fantasy. It’s really weird, dude. If you think that’s funny you might need to go talk to some real people or touch grass.
Literally being used in the absurdist manner also dates back to the 1800s
Literally was being used as an intensifier in both cases where it was being used to signify the truth of something and in the absurdist manner. So, no, it didn’t lose all meaning. So long as you’re not emphasizing something too absurd to be considered real, the original meaning still holds. And if someone uses the word to emphasize something that could be real, though unlikely, they’ll likely get the appropriate follow-up.
On the Crescendo one, do you also get mad about forte? Cause basically the same thing happened there. And no one will confuse the music term for the colloquial term in either case.
Oligopolies, monopolies. Potato tomato, potato tomato
It was raining here two weeks ago. Temperatures were in the 20-30s earlier this week. It’s being far below freezing AND recent warm weather that’s the danger.
